Usually, in each CGI script, near the top, there is a statement like:

	my $debug = 0;

make sure your's is set to 1 (which it seemed to be) for the maximum
info.  Then browse the log file, by default:

	$prefix/var/log/linuxcoe-sd/sysdes.log

for the output.

Also, since it's been sometime since this effort was started, you
may wish to compare one of the other backend scripts to see if
relevant changes were made there,
